Ecology Center Seminar Series - Moderated Discussion with Dr. Jenn Fehrenbacher
Conference/Seminar
Dr. Fehrenbacher is the director of the Foraminarian Lab within the College of Earth, Ocean, & Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University. Her research involves components of trace element and stable isotope geochemistry, biomineralization, and marine biology. She develops and uses proxies, primarily to trace elements in marine calcifiers, for reconstructing ocean circulation, temperature, and chemistry in the past. A few of the primary research questions she seeks to answer are: How do marine calcifiers make their shells? How do they exert control over trace element/Ca ratios and modify the trace element/Ca ratios so greatly from seawater. She seeks to find answers to these questions to improve paleo-proxies through culturing live specimens and applying laboratory-based developments to specimens from fossil record.

A Bolder Way Forward: Updates and Next Steps
Panel Discussion/Presentation
National and statewide studies continue to show that women and girls in Utah are not thriving in critical areas. Although the needle has moved slightly in a few areas, with its current trajectory it will take three or four decades to make notable progress. A BWF was launched in June 2023 to shake things up in Utah and make critical changes that are needed much faster. The primary aim of BWF is to help more Utah women, girls, and their families thrive. Utah women and girls thrive when all aspects of their safety, security, health, and wellbeing are met, allowing them to explore and pursue educational, professional, civic, leadership, and other opportunities according to their interests, and to feel abundant levels of support and a sense of belonging as they do so. Utah is struggling significantly in many of these areas, and that is simply unacceptable! Join Dr. Susan Madsen and others involved in the movement to learn about the progress that has been made, its current state, what is planned for the remainder of Year 2, and how to get involved in this meaningful work. When we lift Utah girls and women, we lift all Utahns!

LAEP Speaker Series: Siqi Zhu, Planning as Strategic Design
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture What is planning's relationship to design? In this lecture, I will argue for the necessity and efficacy of urban planning as a form of "strategic design", moving past traditional design's focus on discrete solutions -- be it a building or a landscape -- but borrowing traditional design's principles and methods to tackle systemic challenges like inequality, unaffordable housing, and climate change. Speaker Bio Siqi is an urban planner, technologist, and strategic designer who seamlessly integrates cities and technologies as dual focal points in his practice. With a strategic design mindset, he applies a creative combination of place-, community-, and technology-based solutions to complex, systemic urban challenges, such as climate change, infrastructural renewal, equitable development, and technological disruptions.

Communitas Lecture Series: Vance Byrd
Lecture/Readings
Vance Byrd is a scholar of late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German literature who investigates how literary and print culture intersect with the history of visual media. He will be speaking about his current book project, Listening to Panoramas, which looks beyond statues to discover how panoramic forms played a pivotal role in transatlantic visual and sonic cultures of commemoration. Panoramas gave audiences around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in stories about natural and urban landscapes as well as bloody battle scenes depicted on larger-than-life circular paintings. This book proposes that the emotions produced by the sonic and visual effects at panorama shows determine how the past is remembered and politicized. Furthermore, it investigates how Black artists have turned to the panoramic form to resist narratives about defeat and victory in the American Civil War and to reinscribe the history of the Black freedom struggles onto the medium.
The Communitas Lecture Series is a set of visiting artists, scholars, and design series. This series is free and open to the public!

This exhibition highlights this pivotal period in the program's history and explores the unique qualities that define USU's scenius.

LAEP Speaker Series: Todd Mead, What is this Beautiful Place?
Lecture/Readings
Speaker Bio Originally from Wisconsin, Todd has lived and worked in Colorado and California for over forty years. Early life in a small town on the Wolf River introduced him to the experience of nature as a playground, as an escape, and as series of evolving places. Spurred by observations of human caused environmental degradation, Todd found landscape architecture as means of melding ecological reparation with art, while studying geology and native plant community restoration in the midwest. Drawn to wilder environments, Todd moved west immediately after undergraduate school, eventually joining Civitas and remaining there for more than twenty years. Emerging opportunities for change lead him to join Peter Walker Partners (PWP) in Berkeley, and later the Office of Cheryl Barton (O|CB) in San Francisco. Now with SCAPE in their San Francisco office, he applies decades of experience in a collaborative team-focused approach, blending critical design thinking with problem-solving and mentoring. His project experience varies in scale, complexity, and budget—including urban parks and gardens; educational, medical, and corporate campuses; waterfronts; and urban infill redevelopments.
Science Unwrapped: Celebrate Undergrad Research - Mathematicians Matt Young and Seth Porter
Panel Discussion/Presentation | Science Unwrapped
Science Unwrapped, the public STEM outreach program of USU's College of Science, invites inquiring of minds of all ages to participate in science learning fun. Admission is free. Each event begins with a brief science talk following by hands-on learning activities and refreshments.
Our Spring 2025 theme is "Celebrate Undergrad Research" in recognition of USU's 2025 "Year of Undergraduate Research."
April 11 Speakers: Mathematicians Matt Young, faculty member in USU’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and undergraduate researcher Seth Porter, conduct research to define and compute algebraic invariants of knots in a three-dimensional vector space. A knot is an embedding of a circle into a three-dimensional space. A knot invariant is a quantity assigned to a knot that remains the same for any other knot that is topologically equivalent to it. Matt and Seth will “untangle” this concept, while explaining the benefits of getting involved in undergraduate research.

LAEP Speaker Series: Heather Henry, The Right Place and the Right Home - The Right Solution
Lecture/Readings
About the Lecture When every turn of the channel, the page, or swipe of the screen shrieks about the breadth and depth of the housing crisis, it can be easy to insist that the solution simply lies in building more. Build it anywhere, at all cost. History tells us this cannot and does not work. As builders, developers, designers, and planners we have the power to make better decisions. And we all know with great power comes great responsibility (thanks, Spiderman). We’ll explore multiple case studies for how to make choices about the right places, right types of homes, and right creative programs to bring lasting housing solutions to bear in all types of communities.
